The surveys reported in this paper are a follow-up study to the two earlier surveys. Key findings of the study include: (1) the relative importance of the top four skills (spreadsheets, word processors, computer aided-design, electronic communication) has remained unchanged; (2) programming competence is ranked very low by practitioners; (3) the importance and use of geographic information system and specialized engineering software have increased over the past decade; (4) the importance and use of expert systems have significantly decreased over the past decade; and (5) the importance and use of equation solvers and databases have declined over the past decade.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering}, author={Abudayyeh, O. and Cai, H.

It was a part of the practical aspects of many early civil engineering degree programs. As early as the 1920's, specializations in construction engineering were found in a few civil engineering programs, paralleling structural engineering and other areas. However, the gradual need for more specialization than could normally be integrated in the civil engineering degree eventually led to the formation of some construction specialty degree undergraduate programs, particularly after World War II. This paper documents the historical evolution of construction education, promotes construction as a stand-alone professional engineering discipline, provides information for schools that are interested in starting an undergraduate construction engineering and management (CEM) degree program, and discusses the engineering accreditation aspects of the CEM curriculum and the role of the construction industry in the CEM curriculum development.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Construction Engineering and Management}, author={Abudayyeh, O. and Russell, J. and Johnston, David and Rowings, J.}, year={2000}, pages={169–175} }

Major research efforts are focused on developing procedures for improving the effectiveness of cost and schedule control. As a result, researchers are concerned with the quality, integrity, and timeliness of data that flow through such control systems. A number of data models have been proposed to integrate cost‐ and schedule‐control functions, because such integration is viewed as the, solution to the many problems facing construction projects today. This paper provides an overview of cost‐ and schedule‐control functions, defines the desired control cycle, and discusses the problems and needs of cost‐ and schedule‐control functions. A number of integrated cost‐ and schedule‐control data models, which represent the state of construction research in this area, are discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to show how such an automated solution (represented by a data storage model) was properly designed and developed. The data storage model is developed using the first three steps of the process used to model engineering problems.
